Good find. He nailed her and she had to avoid a direct question twice.
She also raises another point. While she never gave back the money for the bridge she's taking more federal money for a different link.
Way to fail palin.
It's Palin ...

if by "problem" you mean final disposition of the bridge, then yes, it was solved.
if you interpret the problem as politically convenient flip flopping, then the problem certainly is not resolved.
genius peel: the heritage foundation article was simply to show that in 2005, when palin was supporting the bridge, that the heritage foundation found it an obscene example of earmarks. your comment is irrelevant. unfortunately, your vote is not.
of course, no matter what any facts say, she is still superwoman and barack will still be referred to as "hussein," so what the fuck, some of you are just beyond help.
finito.

Once again, just making up your own reality.
Gibson states dubious “facts” instead of questions...and then restates the “facts” after Palin disputes them, just to try to keep the “facts” alive.
I thought you were following this or something.
Of course she kept the money--- she never claimed she did not, why would the governor to send the money back to Washington if it was needed elsewhere in her state?

The fact is that she supported the bridge until the plug was pulled by Congress. She continues to claim that she told them "thanks but no thanks.
When asked straight up whether she supported the bridge she doesn't reply yes or no but instead avoids the question. Then she avoids it again. She actually doesn't dispute any facts, just avoids.
To try and spin this into anything except clearly avoiding a direct question would be avoiding reality.
Oh I am. Not only did she keep the money for a bridge that wasn't getting built but she actually got another earmark on top of that for a different link.
Money was for a bridge. No bridge, no money. Simple huh?

Has the FACT been addressed that Obama and Biden both voted FOR funding the oft-referred to "Bridge to Nowhere"? http://www.cdobs.com/archive/our-columns/obama-and-biden-voted-for-bridge-to-nowhere,1628/
Even when Sen. Coburn proposed an amendment shifting earmark funds to Katrina relief they STILL voted for it.
In other words, OBAMA and BIDEN accused Bush of not funding Katrina victims, but INSTEAD voted to send the money to Alaska to build a bridge that became a symbol of pork barrel spending.
Roll call Votes on the resolution containing the Bridge to nowhere funds:

Roll call Votes on the proposed amendment to take the Bridge money and use it for the victims of Katrina:
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/vote.xpd?vote=s2005-262
McCain is on record as opposing the bridge, and the person who had the real say about it KILLED it.
The money was put into Alaska General Transportation Fund, and in 2006 upon election, Governor Palin determined that the bridge was not a priority to build. In September of 2007, the state funds for the bridge were re-directed away from the project.

Do you have any factual information supporting that assertion? The transcript from the interview doesn't explain what '"link" refers to and mentions no "other earmark".
Perhaps she means the state funds that were redirected now support other infrastructure?
For you, maybe. That's not the way it works in the real world, though.

They aren't lying about it. Palin is lying about it daily.
She determined it wasn't a priority after Congress had already killed it.

we're all losers in this.
either we get someone too liberal to not fuck up the economy further, or we get lucky lady dumbshit when mccain has a massive coronary after trying to lift an arm above his head during an act of passion with a golden retriever.
either way, we're fucked.

Not sure yet. I've heard that it was road money that had been specified for the bridge. Road money belongs to the state to do with as the state see's fit (when the hell did this crap start anyway?).
Can we go back to the Constitution...see Amendments 9 & 10.
Since the announcement, you've been on a tear against this woman. Did she steal your cigarettes? Turn you down for a one-nighter? Piss in your cheerios? You've been carrying the banner for the Sorros group for weeks. Why?
It is his name. Ever hear about George W Bush? FDR? John F Kennedy? Middle names & initials are common. Why not use his?

I see. 
Barry agrees with me:
He hears NOTHING on the fact that both HE and JOEY voted for the bridge.
Just some kind of noise that sounds like crickets.
Nothing about the same bridge that that has been PROVEN as no more than a DISTRACTION from the reality that Barry/bin Biden is circling the drain.

Missing excerpts from the ABC (all barac channel) interview. Expected, not a surprise that they leave out important stuff. What is kida sucky is the questions asked, of both candidates.
